Pumpkin Spice Pecan Scones by Fidelia Grace

We're celebrating national Pumpkin Spice Day in fashion with this DELICIOUS Pumpkin Spice Scone Recipe by Fidelia Grace. A must try. 👇🏻🎃

Ingredients: 

-2 ½ cup flour

-1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice 

-4 tbsp sugar 

-1 tbsp baking powder 

-½ tsp baking soda 

-½ tsp salt 

-½ cup pumpkin puree (drained) 

-1 egg 

-3 tbsp milk 

-½ cup cold butter 

-1 cup Evie’s Snacks Original Pecans 

Cinnamon Sugar Topping: 

-½ cup sugar 

-2 tbsp cinnamon 

Instructions: 

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in the Butter: Using a grater, grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Measure out the pumpkin Puree: Add the ½ cup pumpkin puree and squeeze out all of the liquid using a tea towel or a nut milk bag. This is important as pumpkin holds a lot of moisture and will make your dough too wet. 
5. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, egg, and milk until well combined. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in Evie’s Snacks Original Pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough
7. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill. 
8. Cut the dough: Cut the circle into 8 wedges, like a pizza, and then brush with milk. 
9. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the scones.
10. Bake: Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
11. Cool and Serve: Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
